Scientific and Technical Subjects in (5). —The courses to be taken in these subjects by those students who select them will be determined after consultation with the Dean of the Faculty of Commerce. The purpose in this, as in the previous years, is to give the future man of business such a knowledge of the processes of manufacture as may be useful to one whose chief interest nevertheless is on the commercial side. Most of the courses mentioned under (5) are more definitely technical or professional than those in the previous years ; but no student will be admitted to a course involving preliminary knowledge unless that knowledge has been previously acquired. The arrangements with the several professors in the Faculty of Science will be made through the Dean of the Faculty of Commerce. Factory Hygiene and Legislation.-— Particulars of this course will be announced later. For commerce, accounting, commercial law, transport, technique of trade, money and banking, and methods of statistics, see the syllabus below. Fees. The composition fee for the whole curriculum will be £21 each year. This includes the membership fee of £1 Is. Bach of the classes in the Faculty of Commerce is open to all persons who are capable of taking advantage of the instruction offered, whether they have matriculated or not; and passcertificates will be granted to non-matriculated students at the end'of each session on the results of the class examinations. The conditions of admission in the ease of non-matriculated students are identical with those for similar students in the Faculties of Science and Arts. They include registration in the Secretary's office, the payment of a variable membership fee (e.g., for a single course running through the whole session, 10s. 6d.), and the payment of fees for the particular courses selected (given below with the several syllabuses). But although only students who have been matriculated can become candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Commerce, non-matriculated students can at any time qualify for the degree by passing the. Matriculation and other University Examinations, without further attendance upon courses already taken by them ; provided that, before receiving the degree, they have attended all the required courses, and have devoted to study within the University an amount of time equivalent to three continuous yea.rs.
